Today at this nice day with some nice weather we did go out in the nice city Sittard in The Netherlands. And in this nice city in The Netherland we went to the nice day care. And at the nice day care we could learn something about creating nice artworks. Also there was some space for a nice glass of water or a nice cup of coffee.
And today it was a little bit special day at the nice day care. This because there were “Portrait drawing and painting lessons” at the nice day care. The lessons were given by the very talented and experienced accompanist of the day care. The task/job was to first draw the “outlines” with a pencil on a large paper from the example. The example was a picture of a face with a lot of shadows. So first we had to draw a face (ratio 1:1) on the large paper with a pencil, as earlier said. This all to take a closer look at the example and the “compartments” which were folded in the example. After this we could choose a paint color, blue acrylic paint, red acrylic paint or yellow acrylic paint. Artist “Pietro del Villa” did choose the yellow colour. Then the next step for artist “Pietro del Villa” was to replace all the dark/black/shadows from the example with yellow acrylic paint on the big paper on the easel. It was not a very easy task to do, but it was a good practice to improve your drawing skills and painting skills with the important use of some “shadow-techniques”.
We already made som interesting pictures about this project/task executed by artist “Pietro del Villa” in the city Sittard in The Netherlands. If you want you can see all pictures underneath. The only thing you have to do is to scroll down at this webpage! We wish you already some painting-fun, drawing-fun, shadow-fun and art-fun on this website!
